We are starting the first week of BM# 65. For the first week, I will be sharing some rice dishes cooked in three different ways. We cook only rice for lunch and it keeps varying as steamed rice, mixed rice, and pulaos. A special occasion calls for Biryanis and that again either is nonveg or […]

I was delayed so much that I almost thought I should not do this post. However after taking a theme that was so interesting as Detox, I had to attempt at completing this week. When I have posted the second day Detox drink, I have so many other bloggers saying how wonderful it was I […]

This Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani, is one of those biryanis that just happen in Amma’s Kitchen. She read this somewhere and added her own twist. The first time she made, she didn’t even tell me that she was making a biryani. Yes I would have gone with my camera for a step by step picture […]

For the second day of quick dishes, this is one of the pulaos I make for my kids for their lunch. I never thought of clicking it before. However this particular picture was taken during the floods we had in Madras and we were short of ideas being at home through the day. While I […]

If you are one of those Parents, who have to pack a lunch box in just about 15 to 20 mins, you are at the right spot! This goes to cooking in short time as well. When I say cooking in shortest time, I meant the whole meal. Of course what one considers as a […]

Colour Rice Vankaya Kura is a delicious combo meal and an excellent way to welcome you all to the New Year! I am looking forward to a wonderful Foodie year ahead!.

For the last and final day of Rice dishes, I have my most favorite version of mixed rice dish, the Kovil Puliyodharai. When we visit any temple, the one aspect that I really look forward would be for the prasadam and hoping it will be puliyodharai. Nothing can beat the taste that’s so unque to […]

For the second day of Rice dishes, I have the Nawabi Pulao from the Awadhi Cuisine. Awadhi Cuisine is a rich cuisine with most of the dishes cooked in milk, nuts and whole spices. In today’s dish, it was vegetables cooked in masala along with roasted paneer and nuts. It makes a great dish to […]

Happy Deepawali to all my readers! Its been a wonderful for the past few days, with continuous non stop rains. For the first ever time, we have such heavy rains during Diwali. Though by default it always rains, it was never this heavy. This makes this year’s celebration such pollution free and noise pollution free […]
